compiling this example:

class Foo
{
private:
int a;
int b;
float c;

public:
this()
{
c = 3.14;
a = 1;

printf("constructor called\n");
}

~this()
{
printf("Destructor called\n");
}

}


int main()
{
Foo E = new Foo();


printf("a=%d b=%d c=%4.2f\n", E.a, E.b, E.c);

return 0;
}

the program compiles and run ok, getting:

constructor called
a=1 b=0 c=3.14
Destructor called

but the question is why i can access to private members of the class?
what is wrong? is a bug?

i'm using dmd v0.79 for linux

    Because they are private at the module not class level. If you 
import this module in another one private fields won't be accessible.

the same class in a separate module run fine.

    Not all (I haven't tried protected) according to documentation (see 
under Attributes->Protection Attributes. There is clearly stated that 
private members of class are accessible to all member functions of 
enclosing module. But reading only documentation protected members 
should not be accessible in whole module.

Well. I have tried it and using protected is equal to using private. The 
documentation must say: Private or Protected members of the enclosing 
class can access the member, or members and functions in the same module 
as the enclosing class.

Of course Protected members means that only members of the enclosing 
class or any classes derived from that class can access the member (in 
any module).
